It Was Just an Accident is a great film, where twists in plot are intimately connected with the complexity of the situation, present and remembered, involving the lives of people who are trying to live the good life in their own ways.
Although structural tension behind the film is real and serious, Jafar Panahi does not inhumanize anybody in the end. Perseverance in overcoming difficulties in location and filming in bringing about this masterpiece add an extra shine to the torch of hope carried by the drama.
I wish all the best for Jafar Panahi and the people, fictional and real, portrayed either directly or indirectly in this apotheosis of cinema.

t’s been a very long time. I see that you’ve started updating your blog again at the pace you used to.
I watched the trailer and read the plot summary of the movie you introduced.
I felt the director’s compassion and hope in the way he ultimately portrays, with a warm perspective, the human drama of love and hatred that unfolds among ordinary people who gradually become slaves to politics before they even realize it although politics is supposed to exixt for the people. I hope I will be able to watch the entire film.
